[Ansteorra-archery] TASSELS ??

[David Pearcy]

I live in Grande Prairie ... Northwest Alberta near the BC border. It is
pretty isolated up here but the forty or so of us that play in the SCA have
a good time. We run weekly CA fighter practices in a local gym and a number
of our archers are getting very lethal.

Now I understand the nature of the "dig". I somewhat feel like I wandered
into a conversation that had been underway for a while! You know how that
goes.

Sounds Great.  Where in Canada are you?  See the Inside joke there is that
I'm Canadian too.  Recently moved back to Ruantallan, in the Northern Shores
Region of the East. (AKA Nova Scotia)

I was just trying to prod the old gang into action. ;)
